Game Display Marquee Image

You can change the default Marquee Image displayed at the top of the Game Display to any custom image (ex. a club or school logo, etc). See the "Alpha Gamers" Marquee Image in Figure 2. Click the Browse button to select the image. Most common image formats can be used. The recommend size is about 300 pixels wide by 50 pixels high, but you can use any size you like. Use an image with a transparent background for the most professional looking effect. Click Restore Default Image button to restore back to the default image.
